Chapter Sixteen

The walls closed in around them. Alex couldn’t breathe. He held Siale tight. She was so still, so very still. He touched her cheek; it was cold.

“Siale!” he yelled.

Alex woke up with his heart pounding and skipping beats. Sweat made his hospital gown stick to his body. He could still feel the touch of Siale’s cold cheek against his palm. Even though it had just been a dream, he had to make sure she was alright.

Alex hurried down the hall to Siale’s room. There was nobody in sight at the early hour. Relief flooded him when he reached Siale’s window and saw her sleeping undisturbed on the bed. She appeared much the same as she had been when he and Jaze had visited the room. Seeing her alone felt wrong. On impulse, Alex reached for the doorknob. It was cool to his touch and the door opened without a sound.

Alex stood by Siale’s bed. He didn’t know what to do. He wished she was awake. Hearing her talk would confirm the fact that she had made it out alright. It was hard to believe it with the sight of her unconscious on the bed.

Alex was so lost in his thoughts that the sound of the door opening startled him. He jumped and turned. His heart chose that moment to stutter. His knees gave out and he caught himself against the counter.

A man in a white hospital coat watched him quietly, his dark gaze impassive behind blue-rimmed glasses.

“Who are you?” Alex asked, embarrassed by his weakness. He gritted his teeth and forced his legs to hold.

“Dr. Benjamin,” the man replied. “And you’re Alex. It’s not a far stretch of the imagination to guess that your heart’s still giving you trouble.”

Alex shook his head, but the wry expression on the doctor’s face let him know it wouldn’t do any good to deny it.

The doctor gave a small smile. “I’ve definitely been around my fair share of stubborn werewolves. I assume you’re here checking on our patient.” He glanced at Siale’s monitors. “Her vitals are improving.”

The doctor’s scent let Alex know that he was a human. Alex felt wary and on edge. The few humans at the Academy and his brief interaction with the students playing soccer in the city hadn’t given him enough basis to trust every human he came into contact with. A shudder ran through his skin. He pushed down the urge to phase.

The doctor’s expression changed slightly. Instead of critical and cold, there was a hint of something else, something almost sad.

“You remind me of someone,” Dr. Benjamin said.

Alex didn’t reply.

The doctor seemed to understand how to treat werewolves. He took a seat on the chair near the door, but was careful not to block the exit. He crossed one knee over the other and leaned back with his arms crossed as well, taking away any hostility or threat in his bearing.

The action calmed Alex’s nerves somewhat. He stayed close to Siale’s bed, feeling protective over the girl he had rescued.
